I would like to get alot of different varieties of flower seeds so that I can create a "farmgirl friendship flower garden".
I will be willing to do the following in exchange for packets of seeds: I will send to you a matted 4 by 6 floral photo of my own design.
If you have seeds for the following plants I'd really be thrilled:
black eye susan vine, black eye susan,gomphrena,balloon flower, bee balm, columbine,cosmos,foxgloves,hollyhocks,any iris or lily tubers,echinacea,coreopsis,gazania,zinnia,..basically I'm looking for nice cutting flowers or wildflowers type seeds that will come back year after year or that seeds can be gathered from to keep passing on to others to enjoy...and that also will make lovely photographed images.
So, if you'd like to share..I'd like to trade a matted floral photo in exchange.

I'm still collecting seed Tina, but will gladly send some on to you when they are dried and packaged. I would gladly exchange seed from other farmgirls, it would be neat to say those are so-and-so's flowers. Maybe we could do a seed round-robin after Christmas.

Hi TIna! I just sent a letter your way! I'm going to the farmer's market in Greenville tomorrow and I'll see what I can find for seeds. Though they don't fall under your flower request, I'm hoping to find some heirloom pumpkins and gourds for me!
Anyway, be on the lookout for a letter. And I'll send whatever kinds of seeds I find there.

Tina, love your tea towel!!
I WISH I could swap with you, but I don't know if I can send seeds to USA for quarantine reasons. I grow all my vegies and flowers from heirloom, open-pollinated seeds, so have heaps around. Spring here, of course, so I have just potted up heaps of hollyhocks, my sweet peas are clambering everywhere (no flowers yet though), tulips looking gorgeous, lots of pansies, and too much more to mention. I love gardening - my dad always wants to know why the flowers are mixed up with the vegies - he is very much a straight line person!! Mine grow all over!
Hope you get lots of seeds - I just love looking through seed annuals - read them like books!
Best wishes and happy growing,
Jayne |

I read the seed catalogs like books too Jayne and dream and wish and dream and wish..LOL hey, that's o.k. ..I understand the concern on the seeds coming in internationally, I am not sure on just the flower seeds as long as they are not invasive varieties..I'm not sure about the quarantine issues either. Anyhow..if you'd like a tea towel maybe we can strike up a different trade later.

Seed will be a coming. Where as I really don't need you to feel a trade is necessary, well, after seeing your tea towel... Some seeds aren't quite ready, but will gather them and send them on in due course.

| Tina, would you like some crocosmia? (they are either bulbs or corms, not sure!) I have two varieties butI don't know the names. One is orange and the other is red. They both make nice cutting flowers. I'm just not sure how they would do in the heat. |

Susan,
those would be absolutely lovely! I have never grown thosse before..had to look on image search to see what they look like..they are very pretty. I emailed you . I think they'd do well here given that they are native to South Africa.
So..I'd love to give a few of them a good home!
Thank you!
Let me know what you'd like in exchange tea towel or matted floral image.
Thanks so much!

Aunt Jenny! I got the hollyhock seeds today and the crocheted dish cloth! Thanks so much!! I am sold on those crocheted dishcloths now for sure..they do not sour as quickly as regular washcloths.
Anyhow..thanks so much!

Oh good...I am glad they got there. The dishcloth is knitted. I use them all the time..they work really well and you are right..they don't sour as easily..and wear like iron!
I am glad you liked it!

Hi Tina,
They are really pretty and hummingbirds love them! They are also quite prolific, so you will have many babies to share! I will look around later online and see if I can find images of the varieties and post them here.
I might not get your email right away. Email that comes to me through the MJF forum tends to get caught in my ISP's spamfilter until I put each one on my whitelist. I will let you know if it arrives tomorrow. |
